Because the left side of the equation is an absolute value, making it impossible to = to -1.
solve this answer by using substitution. set the first equation to x=-y+4 then substitute -y+4 for x in the second equation.
2(-y+4) + 3y=0
-2y+8 + 3y=0
y+8=0
y=-8
now use -8 and solve for x
x+(-8)=4
x=12
The correct answer is C
Hope this helped :)
